As Brayson transported the food and medicine he found back to the veteran Madden whom Brando knew - or the current Butch guard captain Madden's foothold in the Belledore forest, the entire third militia detachment was young.
The return of the people caused a sensation in the valley.
Brothers Makmi, Ike, Essen, Bertha, Little Finis and Nilberto were all the eldest sons or daughters of a certain family in the village. Their relatives originally thought that they had died in the battle that night, and even
They were ready to accept this reality - but now they are back alive and intact.
The people who fled were all excited. Although not all of them were residents of Butchi. Some might be from Qingcun or Weibin, but the warm atmosphere still affected everyone. After all, this was what they had received in the past two days.
The first good news.
A good omen may indicate that things will go smoothly in the future, not to mention the food and medicine that will come with it. People who are hungry and cold can have a warm meal, and the injured can be taken care of. Everyone thinks that there seems to be no hope.
It's not far away, and I have even forgotten some of the embarrassment and miserable situation of the afternoon.
People always yearn for a good life, even if it is only a little better than now, they will feel satisfied. Some people say that human beings are insatiable. They are indeed insatiable, but they are also the easiest to be satisfied.
Madden ordered a bonfire to be raised. This veteran of the November War was brave and stubborn by nature and would never give in to Madara's bones. He didn't care at all that Kabasi and Roscoe found them. According to his words
They can let their horses come over, Eruin is no coward——
It's definitely impossible to hide so many people without military training, so I'd better be more generous.
On the other hand, Freya, who suddenly became lonely, was suddenly treated like a hero. At first, Brando was worried that she would fall in love with the situation, but he soon discovered that this was a unnecessary worry:
"Freya, thank you!"
"Freya, don't be sad, you still have us. Everyone in the village will support you. You are a strong and good girl, everyone knows it!"
"Freya, are you injured? Come and show Aunt Akasha why you are so careless!" A plump middle-aged woman separated the crowd. Although she had the unique rough hands and feet of a country person and a large body,
His voice was loud, but he couldn't hide the concern on his face.
She parted Freya's bangs on her forehead, wiped her face, stepped back and looked at the girl carefully.
"Aunt Akasha, I'm fine."
"Really? Don't take it to heart if you have anything to say."
"Really, thank you everyone." Freya looked at everyone around her, and a layer of fog inadvertently blocked her vision. These people actually had not had a good life these two days. Each of them was frightened, and their eyes
It was full of bloodshot eyes. But here now, what is shown is the most sincere affection between people.
Brando sat watching this scene from a distance, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
The warm campfire, the connection between people, and the aroma of food filling the air seem to have dispelled the darkness and cold colors of the mountains at this moment. Even if it is just for a moment, people can't help but sigh:
What a scene.
The relationship between people should be so simple.
Brando leaned on the white rugged rock, looking up at the stars in the sky: one by one, unchanged from ancient times, or like diamonds sprinkled on the dark purple curtain.
"Why don't you go over?" He saw Roman sitting on a higher place, holding his bag in his hands and placing it on the knees of his leather skirt, and a pair of round-toe shoes swinging back and forth in the air.
"They don't like me."
"Why?"
"My aunt and I are both weirdos in their eyes. Besides, there are girls from ordinary families who want to be businessmen. So it's normal not to please."
You know it too. Brando said heartily, but he suddenly found that he had no impression of Roman's aunt, because that woman was always away from home. She was here today, and there tomorrow, and would only come back occasionally to bring things to Roman.
Some weird gadgets that she likes.
Perhaps it is precisely because of a person's independent growth experience that she has developed the unique temperament of this future business lady.
"Can you tell me about your parents? You seem to have never told me about this."
"I have never met them. My aunt has been by my side since I can remember. My aunt said, little Roman, you should repay your aunt well when you grow up!"
The business lady giggled, her eyes shining brightly in the moonlight.
Brando was stunned for a moment, then calmed down after listening.
"Is that why you want to be a businessman?"
"kindness."
"What a strange idea."
"It doesn't matter--"
The two chatted for a while, and then Brando saw Freya walking away from the other side. The girl seemed innocent, simple and approachable in front of everyone, but once she changed back to the captain of Butch's third militia unit,
She has a vague sense of responsibility as a future Valkyrie.
She promised to take Brando to see Captain Madden of the Butchi Guard. Although she didn't know what this young man was going to do. But just like Essen, she had a blind trust in the other party and believed that as long as it was this young man
If so, there must be a way to get everyone out of this predicament.
Freya didn't want to rely on anything, she was just curious.
Brando's plan is this: now he has joined these refugees with Butcher's guard by coincidence, and he also understands what kind of failure Captain Madden will encounter next, so standing at the forefront of this history
At the point of disagreement, of course he needs to do something.
Indeed, Brando’s first thought was to protect himself, but people cannot live alone in this world. If he did that, how would he face Roman, how would he face Markmie and Little Phoenix, how would he face
What about Freya?
What's more, the helpless cry of the future Valkyrie had deeply moved him. There are so many worries in a person's life - not to mention that he has been a human being for two lives, but he just wants to have no regrets.
After figuring this out, Brando felt that the road in front of him became wider.
Roman naturally stayed by his side. The three of them walked through the valley, passed through campfires and crowds of twos and threes, and finally found the old man beside a campfire at the end of the valley. Coincidentally or expected, Brayson was also there
There. But Brando didn't care about this guy. On the contrary, his eyes immediately fell on the veteran of the November War.
Madden, according to the time in the game, Brando suddenly remembered that he had not seen this old man for almost thirty years (the time ratio is 8:1).
In the game, Madden lived an extremely unsatisfactory life in his later years, but he still died. His only luck was that he did not witness the defeat of Eruin, and he also gained the friendship of many players. This NPC has a very high prestige among players——
Because he teaches stealth, exploration and swordsmanship skills, and most importantly, he also teaches the warrior's first advanced skill: the War Cry of Courage.
There is not much difference between the old man and Brando in their memories. They don't even look that old, but the perseverance on their faces is stronger. Brando has spent some time with this veteran and knows his temper well. He understands that this is an extremely determined person.
Moreover, he is a fearless soldier and has a fiery personality, so any tactfulness will not work in front of him. He might as well be more straightforward and express his intentions directly, which might gain some favor.
However, he was still a little nervous when he spoke. Who knew whether the characters in this world would be exactly the same as those in the game? Although he thought it should be the same, he thought it was a little weird after thinking about it.
After listening to his statement, Madden's eyebrows actually moved - of course, he frowned. But as expected, it was the young deputy deputy captain who first raised objections.
Brayson.
"You mean we will fail. Why?"
Brando's eyes stayed on Madden and listened to the old man say: "Young man, I'm very grateful that you want to join us and do your best for the kingdom. But you don't seem to have much hope for the next battle. I
I also want to hear——”
Brando was not in a hurry. What he was most worried about was that the hot-tempered old man would not give him a chance to speak. As long as he was allowed to speak, as a person who is familiar with historical development, he was sure to convince the other person: "Actually, I only have one question.
, do you know how many Madala’s undead troops are blocking you right ahead?”
Several young people from the police force sitting there were silent.
Madden was also silent, but Brayson, who caught his eye, replied: "Judging from the battle in the afternoon, it should be the same undead army that attacked us at the beginning. Later, another army joined us, and I paid attention to some of the opponent's flags.
, there should be at least two distinct command bases. Unfortunately, we don’t know the specific establishment of Madara.”
Our protagonist glanced at this guy in surprise, unable to tell that this guy actually had some real qualities. Unlike him who relied on his previous life experience, Brayson came to these conclusions just by observing the chaotic battlefield.
amazing.
But this doesn't make Brando take a high look at him, because unfortunately, Brando happens to be the person who knows much more than he does.
"You don't know much about the country of Madara, so it's not surprising that you have drawn wrong conclusions," he said eloquently: "This is such a country that has never been truly unified. It was around the time of Rune and Sword
Before the era of , a group of expelled dark wizards came here and became the original lords of this area, and for a long time this was a paradise for bandits and undead wanderers..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Listen to him, Brayson, and don't be impatient."
"snort."
Brando smiled slightly, knowing that he could attract Madden's attention. A veteran is a veteran, no matter how bad his temper is, he can always grasp some key information keenly.
"But it is also a very aggressive country. The lords living in the darkness are constantly fighting against each other, and they are also plundering north, south, and in any direction anytime and anywhere. Eruin, Cruz, O
Thor and even the region of Banlin are suffering from it."
"Perennial wars have given these lords in the darkness a force that has experienced hundreds of battles. Although the organization is extremely chaotic, the combat effectiveness cannot be ignored. Therefore, you see two troops with different numbers, and their sizes may vary widely."
"So, can you describe to me some details of what happened during your battle? Maybe I can provide some information help."
"Brando!" Brayson finally couldn't help but stood up and yelled angrily: "You are lying. How could you possibly know Madara's situation? As far as I know, you were before-"
He originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by the young man's stern look. Brayson was stunned for a moment. He could hardly believe that he was stunned speechless by just a look from the other party.
Brando was not so strong in the past, he was just a young boy with some talent.
"Listen, Brayson, I'm not here to argue with you." Brando replied word for word: "I don't expect you to understand what kind of critical moment this is, but I just want you to know
——Please take responsibility for your actions!”
Brayson was speechless and then became furious.
"Tell him what we encountered, Brayson." But when Madden said, the veteran's brows were already frowning deeply.
